Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, etc. with quick search capabilities
amongst thousands of drawing sets.
▪ Powerful RFI tools to create, record, and assign RFI’s
Get quick answers to costly RFIs. Diminish excuses to streamline
projects and complete them on schedule with proactive RFI
management. Inefficient management of RFI’s can lead to project
delays, cost overshoots, and lower business profits. iFieldSmart
Technologies helps stakeholders achieve accurate and efficient time
management for holistic project wins. AEC professionals and firms can
leverage cloud-based RFI management to create new RFIs and turn
them into actions with collaboration, integration, updates, and
distribution lists.
Assigning RFIs to various professionals or teams highlighting its cost
impact can reduce project costs by taking informed decisions. Powerful
search tools make it easy for contractors and other stakeholders to
search from thousands of RFIs for various projects. Quickly creating or
identifying a status change helps deliver the right response and
manage a cataloged history of RFI’s.

3. ▪ Approve the right set of components for installation with effective
submittal management
Construction submittals are crucial deliverables that are created by
contractors to general contractors. Managing submittals like shop
drawings, material samples, cut sheets is imperative for Architects and
Engineers to accurately verify building components and their quantities
in compliance with design or contract documents.
iFieldSmart Technologies understand the importance of submittals to
ensure design intent, adhere to codes, and project safety. With the
right set of capabilities like specifications, submittal package, issue
date, etc. teams can create, manage, and streamline the submittal
management process.
▪ Detailed reports drive greater project tracking through real-time
visualization
In-depth project reports based on levels and trades assist project
managers to track project progress. Proactive clash management helps
visualize viewpoints, RFIs, and other parameters for various trades viz.
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sprinkler, etc. Reports based on
status events like Open, Closed, and Overdue make visualization
comprehensive.
▪ Encouraging construction flexibility on the go with Cloud Conferencing
iFieldSmart Technologies integrates cloud conferencing capabilities to
drive greater collaboration amongst remote teams. Getting multiple
teams on a single screen helps multiple teams and stakeholders share
project deliverables like drawings, documents, and other deliverables.
Users can annotate and markup plans to enable real-time discussions
and feedback for quick project execution. Creating multiple project
agendas can help teams stay on track and drive a seamless meeting
experience.
Recording digital versions of meetings help stakeholders keep a copy
of crucial meeting discussions that can lead to better decision-making.
Going back to recorded discussions can clear out ambiguities and
regular communication keeps construction sites connected with back-
office teams. Communicating in real-time enables greater flexibility for
remote teams through various devices and platforms.

4. ▪ Manage users and file activities with premium Cloud storage
Storing large CAD/BIM/Point Cloud files is a challenge for design and
construction teams. iFieldSmart Technologies can help AEC
stakeholders store, share, and access crucial construction documents.
With unlimited storage and high bandwidth, teams can store project
photos, 360 images, videos, and other formats. Workplace productivity
and enhanced tracking enable secure file storage with encrypted
linking and file sharing. File versioning capabilities with timestamps
help store multiple versions of files with quick restore capabilities and
greater collaboration.
▪ Manage multiple construction tasks with proactive Task management
Assigning tasks with iFieldSmart Technologies is quick and easy. A
simple form with task name, due date, status, and assigning
capabilities can help track project activities and tasks. Tracking work
progress with time sliders can help teams follow task duration with
precise descriptions for other stakeholders to follow.
▪ Improving construction photos for documentation & tracking with Lens
360
360 - Degree photo documentation has gained significant popularity
amongst construction firms to represent the entire view and navigate
to various and specific components. Reinforced with construction
management software, this rich source of visual data can be leveraged
to capture and track project progress.
Scrap attachments through email.
While it seems easy to send onsite photos through email, it is an
inefficient method to transfer photos as it creates a trail of confusion
and inaccurate data. Images can lack the right context or meaning if
not delivered at the right time through emails. Capturing and sending
onsite photos directly from the field to a mobile platform or device and
mapping them to drawings, reports, and documents through cloud-
based software delivers an accurate and clear reference.
With construction management software like iFieldSmart and its
integrated tools, contractors can tag and annotate photos with 2D
drawings to achieve greater viewer context. Capturing As-Built details,
and identifying & resolving issues helps contractors and other

5. stakeholders make informed decisions. RFI’s raised on issues can be
solved quickly through greater depth of context.
Greater structure for file storage.
Fragmented photo storage can be misleading, and consumes a lot of
space. Automated or AI-based photo documentation software can save
time and promote greater usability. Pushing photos to a centralized
storage system reinforced with tagging can help identify locations,
work type, onsite conditions, subcontractor location, etc. Photo
filtering capabilities through advanced tagging can help general
contractors and sub-contractors better search results and build
imagery reports.
Tagging imagery to specific onsite locations.
Tagging photos with GPS systems can help contractors access the job
site remotely. Geo-tagging onsite photos can diminish manual work
and stakeholders can get a perspective through various map views.
Conduct hassle-free site inspections.
Site inspections can be taken to the next level with highly detailed 360
– degree photo documentation. Up-to-date and accurate 360-degree
photos can help teams draw up schedules, track progress, resolve
RFIs, diminish change orders, and mitigate disputes. Controlling
project progress can streamline site inspections to stay on budget and
schedule.
Achieve proof of progress.
Recording a job site in 360 – degree helps teams view multiple job
sites from any location. With photos being available instantly, teams
can validate proof of progress – whenever it is required. Performing
side-by-side comparisons of photos with 3D BIM models and drawings
helps contractors identify and achieve planned progress around a
single source of truth.
Making a lasting impression with accurate As-Builts.
Contractors looking at making a high-impact impression with As-Built
documentation can leverage accurate and complete field
documentation during the handover process. Precise project close-outs
